Nelson Marketing is introducing their new Glass Bot™, automated deglazing tool

August 6, 2007

Northern California based Nelson Marketing, an innovative design / marketing company, is introducing their newest tool. The Glass Bot™ is an automated deglazing tool that provides fast and safe removal of residential / commercial glazed units, aeronautical / nautical / automotive glass, bus, truck and rail sheet metal panels as well as mirror walls that are retained by adhesive materials. The Glass Bot™ will also benefit the automotive glass recycling industry as it can remove glass parts without breakage or damage to attached moldings.

Rick Nelson, Product Manager for Nelson Marketing explains, “Using newly designed high strength (325,000 psi) stainless steel wire, the Glass Bot’s small but powerful high torque motor pulls the wire at slow speed through the adhesive. Additionally the Glass Bot™ is operated via a remote control so the user is isolated from the Glass Bot™ during operations to monitor the cutting of the sealant and controlling the panel being removed. For added safety the Glass Bot’s remote control utilizes a reversible switch that shuts the unit off when not depressed. The Glass Bot™ has a zero vibration rating and zero weight impact to the operator.

The Glass Bot™ also removes aeronautical / nautical / automotive glass by cutting from the exterior inwards to prevent any paint damage to the pinchweld area or interior upholstery. This is key to today’s tight tolerance glass design, which restricts the access for tools that insert between the body and the glass, or power tools cutting from the interior outwards that tends to damage this painted area.

Glass Bot™ is scheduled for release this summer with introduction at upcoming trade shows later this year.
